Totally disappointed. The reconstructions are not as interesting and dramatic as I expected. The best thing from the movie is probably the good acting of the actors.
The plot of this revolve around a psycho who murdered women and burry them at different places and challenge detective to find those missing bodies. This is a masterpiece movie with excellent acting ju hi joon and detective kim yoon also.
Claimed as a film based on a true story about a detective who investigates the case of a killer in the city of Busan, South Korea.
Without further ado, from the start the film immediately directs us to a series of murder cases that have been committed by the killer based on his confession to the detective. Cunningly, the killer tried to play with the detective with confusing statements. Until a bright spot where his actions can be proven by the police and increase the weight of the murderer's punishment.
Typical of South Korean films where police and killers are always in touch. Even though we rarely find iconic films like Memories of Murder (2003) and The Chaser (2008), but 'Dark Figure of Crime' can provide an interesting spectacle. Moreover, the film stars South Korean veteran Kim Yoon-seok (The Chaser, The Yellow Sea, Hwayi: The Monster Boy, Fog Sea and other famous titles) with the opposite of a rising actor Ju Ji-hoon.

Excellent crime thriller about a detective seeking further punishment of a convicted murderer who despite confessing to further crimes, uses legal loopholes and the statute of limitations, coupled with half truths and misinformation to evade justice.
Kim Yoon-seok's performance was outstanding as usual and rising star Ju Ji-hoon was also very impressive, balancing his performance well. Based on a true story, strongly recommend.
Without camshaken fighting and fast chasing scene, Dark Figure of Crime did more than enough to keep me on the edge.
